Hi there! I understand that when you click on the hourly summary in WeatherBug on your Mac running OS X 10.15.7, the font appears unusually large, but the rest of the app looks normal. I'd like to help you get that fixed.

Just to clarify a bit more—are you using the WeatherBug website through a browser or a WeatherBug app installed on your Mac? Also, which browser are you using if it's the website? This will help me provide the most accurate steps.

Meanwhile, a quick thing to check: Sometimes font size issues can be related to your browser’s zoom level or your Mac’s accessibility settings for text size. Here are some simple steps you can try:

1. Check Browser Zoom:
- While viewing the hourly summary, try pressing Command + 0 (zero) on your keyboard. This will reset the zoom level to the default size.
- Alternatively, hold Command and scroll down on your mouse or trackpad to reduce the zoom.

2. Verify System Text Size Settings:
- Go to the Apple menu > System Preferences > Accessibility > Display.
- Check if "Zoom" or "Larger Text" options are enabled, which might affect font size in apps or browsers. If enabled, try disabling these temporarily to see if the font size in WeatherBug changes.

3. Clear Browser Cache:
- Sometimes, cached data can cause display quirks. Clear your browser's cache and reload the page.

If you're using a WeatherBug app rather than a browser, it could be related to the app's display settings or a known issue in that version's interface.

Could you please let me know which method (website or app) you are using and if the steps above help or if the large font persists? That way, I can guide you further with more specific troubleshooting.

Thanks for letting me know it’s on your iPhone 16. That helps a lot!

The large font size in the WeatherBug app’s hourly summary is likely related to the iPhone’s text size or display settings rather than the app itself, since WeatherBug generally follows the system-wide font preferences. Here's how we can troubleshoot this:

1. Check Text Size Settings (System-wide):
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Go to Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text.
- If “Larger Accessibility Sizes” is on and the slider is set towards the bigger end, try moving it towards the smaller text size and then check the WeatherBug app.

2. Use Per-App Text Size Adjustment:
iOS 16 lets you change text size for individual apps:
- Ensure the Text Size option is in your Control Center: Go to Settings > Control Center, then add Text Size if it’s not there already.
- Open the WeatherBug app, pull down the Control Center, and tap the Text Size button.
- You'll see a slider at the bottom—toggle the option near the slider to “Only in WeatherBug” so you adjust text size specifically for WeatherBug without affecting other apps. Move the slider to reduce the font size and see if that fixes the huge fonts issue.

3. Display Zoom Settings:
- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom.
- Check if “Zoomed” is selected. This setting makes elements larger system-wide. If it's set to Zoomed, tap Standard then Set, and your iPhone will restart with normal sized elements.

Try these steps and see if the font size in the WeatherBug hourly summary reduces to a normal level. If the problem remains, it could be a bug or a specific app issue, in which case reinstalling the WeatherBug app might help.

Are you comfortable trying these steps now? Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for your patience! Regarding font settings specifically in the WeatherBug app on your iPhone running iOS 16, the app itself does not offer built-in options to adjust font size directly within its settings. Instead, font size behavior generally follows your iPhone's system-wide text settings.

Here’s what you can do to control font size effectively for WeatherBug on iOS 16:

1. Use Per-App Text Size in Control Center:
- Open Settings > Control Center and add the Text Size control if it’s not already there.
- Launch the WeatherBug app.
- Swipe down (or up) to open Control Center and tap the Text Size icon.
- At the bottom, toggle “Only in WeatherBug” to adjust font size just for this app without affecting others.
- Adjust the slider to reduce the font size and check the hourly summary screen.

2. Adjust System Text Size:
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Larger Text.
- If the slider is set to a large size, move it towards smaller to reduce font sizes across apps, including WeatherBug.

3. Check Display Zoom:
- In Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom, make sure Standard is selected, not Zoomed, for normal element sizes.

These steps let you control text size for the WeatherBug app without needing an app-specific font setting. If font size is still unusually large only in the hourly summary, it may be worth reinstalling the WeatherBug app to clear potential display bugs.

For reference on managing fonts on iPhone and system-wide text size adjustments, Apple’s support has detailed instructions: Apple Install and Manage Fonts, and you can see community tips on per-app text size changes as well2 5.

Would you like me to walk you step-by-step through adjusting per-app text size on your iPhone?
